I thought so, but my general experience with Americans is that they can't figure out litres from gallons and kilos from pounds. Although of course I know you don't fall into the general category, but one can't be too careful.
I know quite a few devoutly religious people and they are pretty adamant that what's happening is he beginning of the end. All I'm concerned about is ending up with the mark of he devil. The bible says something along the lines of everyone getting a mark and they go to hell. I'm completely against any form of identification imprinted into us, like microchips and barcodes anyway, so I think I'll be okay. Otherwise I'll have to make a country of my own and make a law against it.
I would say you should come here, but if the Labour government get re-elected in two weeks time then things can only get worse here too. They seem to be heading towards a socialist state. I don't want to be dependent on the state, I like being able to do what I want and spend my money how I like without someone else watching and deciding for me. Make sure you choose a European country that is neutral, well, there's only one I think.
Well, I figure that I'm shit outta luck if it's the beginning of the end. There ain't nothin' I can do to change my heathen ways. I've been a disbeliever since I was twelve and I'm not going to button up and fly right for the end. I can't even fathom the idea of hell because I disbelieve in it so much. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Good thing I love Switzerland, right? I really have seriously considered moving there. My uncle has a place in Geneve that I visited a few years ago. But I guess I can't really raft there...I guess I'll have to walk through.
I just imagine hell as lots of volcanoes and lava everywhere, with a few fires and some whips and chains. Probably very hot. And red? I associate red with other things as well though. So perhaps not. Maybe a deep maroon. The point is, for me, I see it depicted as lava, and lava hurts. So that's why it's supposed to be bad. But I'm sure if you're careful and don't touch it, then it'll be okay. I'd rather think I'll come back as a stone, as opposed to being tortured for eternity. I mean honestly, there would have to be one heck of a lot of people working in hell to accommodate every person that committed a sin. I wonder what job prospects are like down there... (down there? Another cliche, it might be on Jupiter for all we know).
I have a hankering to learn languages again, if I brush up on my French and German, I'll be better suited for living there. I haven't been for quite a long time now, I miss it. You could always raft up a couple of rivers, I'm sure you'd get there in the end. Just watch out for flash floods.

And you're a smrtass.
But see, your bad whips and chains are someone else's good whips and chains.
And really, I think the opportunity for job placement and growth should be the least of your worries if you're in hell. Just a thought.
And that's all I can really say, because hell isn't anywhere. It's in your head and that's all. It's a figment of imagination. A way for parents to scare their children into being good. A way to ensure that the Christian church (and whatever other religions have a similar idea) will always remain in power.
I think I'm going to be taking German next semester. I'm really excited. It's so angry. And it's fun. I'm still fair at Spanish, so this'll make me a trilinguist.

German is so incredibly angry sounding. Like Vietnamese and other South Asian languages. So sharp and harsh sounding. Not that it isn't fabulous to speak in other languages. Not that I will be saying much beyond, "Hello, my name is Kristen." and "The girl wore a red sweater." If I get that far...

It's all about faith though isn't it? I don't believe in hell, it's just a fantasy.
German is angry? Umm ok. Well, when you start to learn it we can talk, because there's nothing like talking in foreign languages.

"Hallo, meine name ist Kristen"?
The red sweater thing is a little beyond me.
